So I've had this for a while, and I really do love it. It's comfortable and light. However, I'm not sure if it's just because it's all air, but the past few nights I've used it, I wake up with my butt touching the ground -- the air just doesn't stay in all night. Whether its the air pressure or a leak, I have had it replaced already, and it is still happening. It's a shame, but oh well.

I've used all types of socks, and these are by far the best. The short ones are more of my day by day use socks, and they are great. My full height ones lasted over 1,000 miles and are still working great. Most comfortable socks ever, and its great to pay $12 for a pair socks I will be able to replace whenever they start to wear out.

Keep in mind, smartwool has a lifetime guarantee, so if they ever do start to wear thin, they will replace them for free.

these are great to have on extended trips. If you wear these inside of your regular smartwools, you won't get as much sweat and grime on the full sized pair making them last longer without washing. With the liners, you can wash them in a stream and they will dry much faster than the regular socks.

Not only that, but the black ones make great dress socks as well.

I tried to use this to keep juice in my phone on my Appalachian Trail thru-hike, and never once got a charge. The only way it will get a charge is if it sits in the sun, without moving, all day. I clipped it to my pack, rigged it so that it would sit on top, and tried 5 other positions to get it to charge while hiking, but I was just ducking under trees too much for the sun to actually hit it enough to charge. Left it on my pack for 2 weeks before I sent it home, and never more than 20% charged. It was a shame, I really wanted it to work.

However, if you go camping, you can just leave it at your campsite to charge while you venture through the woods or mountains so you have power when you get back.

Too small for me, I can't hold on to it when I sleep on my side. I recommend the Nemo Fillo at nemoequipment.com that is comfortable, and large.

This is the best bag I've ever been in. Its comfortable, roomy, and durable. I used it nearly every day for 125 days and it didn't have a single issue. It's warm and true to its rating. I love this bag.

I really did like this jacket, it worked well, and kept the rain out. The only problem -- it kept the sweat in. There weren't any pit-zips, so theres no way to vent out your heat. Especially when hiking, you can't really wear it for too long otherwise you'll get wet anyway.

Love how small this gets, its light, and an over-all nice jacket. The hood has a tightening system so instead of squishing the front so you can't see out, it tightens it around your head and to the back of the jacket so in high winds the hood will stay on your head and you'll still be able to see!

This, however, is not a rain jacket. It'll be ok for sprinkles or flurries, but not actual rain. I am thinking about washing it with Nik Wax to try and waterproof it. Other than the no protection from the rain, its a great layer, and if you're in buggy season, keeps the bugs from eating you alive without making you sweat to death.

Also the picture is a little misleading -- it looks bulkier and puffier than it actually is.

This is by far my favorite mountain house flavor. You can actually pull out strings of cheese. MMMmmm. Of course, you need a 2 serving bag for one person who is doing some decent amount of hiking, but other than that its awesome.

I was in the woods for 4 months, and went through countless canister brands. I found that the two best were this one and the jetboil ones. I only had an issue with an MSR can once when it leaked, but other than that, they worked great.

I used this guy nearly every day for 125 from temperatures ranging from 15-80 degrees, and it never failed me. Sometimes, depending partly on the fuel brand, in the cold, it would be a little slow and you wouldn't get that WOOOOSH noise that it makes, but its still effective. There are no problems with it now, even after all the use, and I will continue to use it for future endevors. great product

my buddy used this pack for our Appalachian Trail thru-hike. It lasted the trip without any problems, and he loved it. Theres plenty of space and lots of pockets, so you can keep everything neat.

This is one of the only things that lasted the entire East coast on my Appalachian Trail hike. I never had any issues with it, and it was comfortable and warm. When I wasn't in the freezing cold hiking, they made for great PJ's

I can't say there is anything wrong with these. They are durable, extremely comfortable, and the regulate temperature very well. I have worn these in hot weather or in freezing weather and have been fine in both. They make for great PJ's too when you're not out in the wilderness! The elastic band is covered with wool so is soft, and has a fly which is always convenient.

This sock is a great sock, especially for long distance. Unlike most socks, you can wear it for days on end without it getting hard. There is enough padding, but not too much, and they are soft and comfortable. The only one downfall is sometimes my feet got a little hot in them.

These poles lasted me 2,200 miles on the Appalachian Trail and only had one issue. However, due to Leki's amazing warranty, new poles were sent out and everything was fine. You can't go on a long distance trip without these -- they take the strain off your back and impact off your knees, and help you from falling. I don't know how many times I slipped and would have fallen if it weren't for these.

This was my upgrade from the vector and I am happy with it. It is much more slim and looks better on my wrist. The metal body is an upgrade from the plastic one as well

I like this watch because it works well. You need to adjust your altimeter before each activity if there are multiple days between them because the change in weather can affect the altimeter, but that is normal for any watch. All the functions work well. I personally like the altimeter alarm that you can set so once you reach a particular height, it lets you know.

This thing just works. The battery lasts a long time, and you can put a cover over the light to diffuse it for a wide beam or uncover it for a tighter brighter beam. It's great all around

I have put many types and brands of socks to the test on my Appalachian Trail thru-hike, and these were one. They are very comfortable, but they just dont last long periods of time without being washed often. They get hard after a day or two, and after only 2 weeks of using them, there was a giant hole in the back. They replaced them for free as they have a lifetime guarantee, but if you're looking for a sock where you are going to be doing long term backpacking and don't have access to a washing machine often, go with the smartwool adrenaline series. Through all my testing, those have by far been the best for what I need.

I am thru-hiking the Appalachian Trail, and spandex is the best thing to wear on a daily basis as they dry quickly when wet and give lots of support.

These are excellent, fit great, feel great, and good for long term use. The only problem with them is the waist is not elastic, it is a drawstring. For me, this means my backpack waist straps go directly where the waist strap is and it wasn't very comfortable, I would need to finangle a way to make it comfortable.

other than that, I love them!

What I have put this sock through:

hiking 22 miles a day for months on end while only washing it once a week.

I used many types and brands of socks for my Appalachian Trail thru-hike, and this was by far the best. Most socks get hard after a couple days and not being washed, however, these stayed soft for much longer than any other. It is a wool sock, so my feet would get a little hot, but the thin spots on top kept my feet more dry. My boots are also very thick tough boots that don't breathe terribly well (I needed sturdy boots for the winter months) and my foot was still dry. In short, these are the best socks I've ever owned. Not to mention I will never need to buy a new pair as SmartWool has a lifetime guarantee

I bought these shoes because I heard they were really durable and comfortable. I will admit, they were incredibly comfortable, they fit my foot really well, and was all around a great boot at first.

After about a month and 600 miles, the sole had cracked all the way up to the base of the shoe, and the rubber cap on the front started to peel off. Granted, not many people who buy this shoe is thru-hiking the Appalachian Trail, but I still felt that wasn't acceptable. So, I e-mailed Vasque and got them replaced. About another month and 700 miles later, both of the new ones were cracked again. So, I told them I didn't want those anymore and they replaced them with the Clarion. They don't look as durable as these do, the leather held up really well and was a very comfortable shoe, however, at this point, if the Clarion don't hold up, I'll just go with a new company. I do commend Vasque on their customer support though!

I need a glove that is easy to dry out, I'm able to wear hiking, and is comfortable. This is it. I picked it for my Appalachian Trail thru-hike, and unfortunately it took me 3 pairs of other types and makes of gloves to find this one.

It's hard to get something light weight that is also comfortable. At first I was using the prolite small which weighs 14 oz's and is only 1.25 inches thick, however, as soon as this one came out, I had to get it. I sent in my old pad, got this one, and won't look back. It takes a little more to inflate, but it is incredibly comfortable. I don't inflate it all the way so it can contour to my body better, but this pad is the best out there!

Great stuff. smells nice too.

Sometimes if it's warm, the oils are a little too soft so a lot comes off quickly, but still love it.

These bars are great. Not only do they taste good, but for 400cal per bar, its the most energy dense food I could find aside from peanut butter. These bars are only 4oz. Great stuff

This is being used as a hang bag for all my food. It's really durable and can take a beating. completely waterproof. I use one for my toiletries also.

Well for anyone who may have the 'issue' that the person below had, I believe they have a female version which probably addresses that situation (but not need to tell them that.)

Anyway, I love this pack very much. I had the Z-55 and needed to upgrade size so sent that one in to get this. The thing I liked about the Z-55 was that it was slender and fit close to my back so I didn't get knocked off balance. Since this is a bigger bag, it protrudes more outwards but can be tightened when there is excess space. Even though it protrudes out, I don't feel it messing up my balance that much. What I really love about this pack is that there are lots of places to put everything. I was actually able to stuff my sleeping bag on the top piece, put my tent in the sleeping bag compartment, rain gear in the front pocket, flashlights and stuff on one side pocket, first aid and soap stuff on the other, and a granola bar and knife on the waist strap pockets.

I love this pack. Its extremely comfortable as well.

I got the short one and was surprised at how comfortable it was. At only 13 ounces its light and rolls up small as well.

It didn't come with a sack to put it in so unless you tie it up it'll come unrolled.

kept my stuff dry. Has a nice pull cord around it so you can tighten it.

Comfy, lightweight, packs small and easy to clean/dry. so far no complaints, would recommend this.

These are very comfy. I like the belt and the zip offs. I will agree that the "panties" are a little annoying at times, but when you aren't wearing loose boxers, underwear it just adds support. Also good if you only bring one pair on an extended hike...

These are great. They pack down really small, keep me dry, and are a nice material. They aren't plasticy, but rather feel smooth and soft to the touch. There is a zipper on the bottom which allows you to put them on over shoes, although they don't fit too well over the boots I hike in. My only other complaint would be no pockets. Otherwise, these are great!

I really liked this pack, unfortunately I had to send it back because I needed a little more room than I thought, would have gone with the z-65 if backcountry had it.

I like how this pack is lightweight, but extremely comfortable. I felt as if everything was close to me and my balance wasn't thrown off because I had a bulging bag on my back. There was plenty of space for most of my stuff and 30 pounds felt feathery. The waist belt is very comfortable and easy to adjust, and the pockets on the belt come in handy.

The only issues I had were:
There wasn't a side pocket for a water bottle. In order to store stuff with somewhat easy access, you would have to put it in the front pouch but this would still require you to take off the pack in order to gain access to it. The only other problem was the amount of straps. While it was nice that you were able to adjust basically everything, it was kind of annoying to have 10 straps hanging down.

This bag is wonderful, I slept in 15 degree weather and i was in my boxers and a tshirt and was very comfortable and warm. I like how wide it is which allows for a lot of room to wiggle around, especially on the top part. Theres not as much leg room, but theres still plenty. You can unzip where your feet are a little if your feet get hot as well which is nice. Packs very small and very light. While I wish I didn't come in purple, I am fine with it because it's so great! I also had my little dog in the sleeping bag as I was afraid she would get cold in her portable kennel over night and she didn't tear it (I was a little worried I won't lie) so it is durable as well.

lightweight, fits inside of my 28oz cooking pot, works well and wasn't terrible expensive! I enjoy it

I like this because of the size and weight. It's a little unstable on my MSR pocket rocket as it's pretty narrow. I would like to see the handles stay open as well. Hard to grab with gloves on. No real complaints though, worked well for me. Houses my lighter, msr pocketrocket, rope to hang up food and my foldable utensils.

I like it because its small and lightweight. However, when you slide it into the closed position and try to open it, it starts to bend the teeth and I am worried it will break soon.

this is small, compact, lightweight, and just all around great. No complaints from me. I got a set up to use it like a regular bladder. Put a piece tubing inside it and connected it to the cap and the had another tube reaching me. I can also just put the regular car back on if I want to just carry it outside of my pack so its very versatile.

this is great because like the name suggests, the top zips off. Its essentially a giant zip lock bag. It makes it really easy to scoop up water from a river and then add purifying drops to it. I don't feel as if it will ever come unzipped as it clicks into place, and I am never worried about losing the top because its connected to the bag. very nice bladder all around

Unlike other lighweight towels, this is actually soft. Has a nice to hook it on your pack to dry or your tent as well. The loop has a button on it so you can loop it around things rather than need a biner or something of that ilk. The 'body' towel is a little smaller than I'd like though

I got this jacket as an insulation piece for a long term hike starting Feb. However, I went snowboarding and I left my gear at my parents house so I used this. I had this jacket, a waterproof shell, and a simple cotton long sleeve shirt on and was WARM even at 14 degrees F. If I laid in the snow without moving for an hour I am sure I would have gotten cold, but I was very happy and even surprised with the amount of warmth. Incredibly light weight, isn't bulky but is a little puffy (which gives enough dead space to keep you warm.)A few feathers have come out but that would happen with any down item I presume. The only one semi small issue I have is there are no pockets. That is fine since I would use it as insulation underneath something anyway.

I used this as a shell while snowboarding and it snowed continuously for a day. Not a single drop got through this. The material is very soft almost satin like on the outside. Very light weight and the zippers work great. The only issue is that it wont zip up to the top smoothly. The flap on the inside which has soft material for your face gets caught in it. No problem though, you just move it as you zip up.

great jacket though -- would highly recommend it

No, these aren't the thickest socks in the world, but they are incredibly comfortable. I wore them all day snowboarding and they kept my feet pretty warm even in 14 degrees. They didn't overheat my feet and make them sweat a lot either. If you want plush socks then these probably aren't for you. However, if you want comfortable durable socks, I would suggest these.

These are pretty comfortable. They have a liner so you don't need underwear. The material isn't the most comfortable in the world, but the liner is softer.

Good shorts, but nothing too spectacular.

This hat was very surprising in all aspects. I went snowboarding a couple days ago and wore it when it snowed 12 inches in a day. No moisture ever came in through the top, but my head didn't get incredibly sweaty either. very comfortable and the shape allowed for my ears to get covered entirely. It was 14 degrees and I stayed very warm
